I'm wearing my Old Navy zebra ballet flats for the first time today (even though I got them back in the winter) and it reminded me how much I love animal prints. There are tons of ways to use them now in non-traditional colors that make them definitely fun, and add a little twist. It also reminded me of a few things I've done in the past. I could probably go on with million samples and ideas on the subject, but my 2 yr old is already calling for me to come and get him from his room so time is of the essence, and I'll make this quick—

The shoes:

Stationery for a younger girl (I think this would be cute with a monogram, too, for adults):

A first birthday party (this is from a couple of years ago, so I think I would change it up a bit now, but I still like the general idea):

And a moving announcement (Fort Worth is also know as "Cow Town"):

I whole-heartedly apologize for the lack of posting in recent weeks. I can't believe it's actually been 3 weeks since my last post! I would ask, where has the time gone? but I know exactly where! I have been crazy-busy with work!

So, after I shed a few holy-sh*t-I'm-so-overwhelmed-that-famous-people-will-be-judging-my-work tears, I pulled it together and got back to work. In the last few weeks I have crossed a ton of jobs off my list, which is always SO satisfying:
